Figure 1. Changes in plasma leptin levels after intravenous injection of endotoxin. Healthy human volunteers were injected with 3 ng/kg endotoxin (A, ) or saline (B, ). At time of injection and at n 5 3 n 5 3 different times afterwards, plasma was isolated. Leptin levels were measured by ELISA. There were no significant changes in leptin levels over time in either group, nor were there significant differences between groups. Circulating Leptin during Experimental Endotoxemia in Humans
